Seeking Input: Disability Data in Community Health Assessments

The NACCHO Health and Disability Program is seeking success stories from local health departments (LHDs) on ways the disability community has been highlighted as a part of community health assessments and/or community health improvement plans. These stories will be used to create a “best practices” resource designed to encourage LHDs to engage individuals with disabilities within such efforts. LHDs interested in providing stories for this project are asked to contact Sara Lyons at slyons@naccho.org for more information.
